“…A large amount of research has been accumulated in the last few years about the negative effects of work-family conflict (WFC) and family-work conflict (FWC) in terms of well-being (e.g., Frone, 2000;Kinnunen, Vermulst, Gerris, & Mäkikangas, 2003;Oshio, Inoue, & Tsutsumi, 2017;Winefield, Boud, & Winefield, 2014), stress (e.g., Allen, Herst, Bruck, & Sutton, 2000;Frone, 2003), performance, among others (see Eby, Casper, Lockwood, Bordeaux, & Brinley 2005, for a review). More recently, given the increasing interest in emotions in the workplace, attention has been focused on the emotions associated with this process; namely, the feeling of guilt (e.g., Martínez, Carrasco, Aza, Blanco, & Espinar, 2011;Korabik, 2015;Sousa, Gonçalves, Sousa, Silva, & Santos, 2016). WFC and FWC imply a one-sided decision to the detriment of the other; this choice means that one side wins in the fulfilment of their obligations/commitments and another loses.…”
